I think my WinXP computer came with Freedom Firewall 3.0 Has anyone ever heard of this? What's it like? Is it a good firewall? Is it easy to use?

I have it on my xp home edition.I believe it comes with the system.Freedom is part of Zero Knowledge.I also know that I can't uninstall Zero Knowledge,apparently it is part of windows operating system.I activated it and found it has a lot of options like cookie management etc.I also discovered that it is a subscription service.I didn't try it so I don't know if it is any good.With the excellent free firewalls available like Zone Alarm basic and Sygate personal firewall 5.0 I went with ZA and now I have Sygate.Why pay for a firewall with those programs available?
Try finding some leaktests on the net... You will know right away if it's safe or not. If not, there is a firewall that is very good and free... It passes almost any leaktest... www.kerio.com
